The following figure shows how to enter the Training mode Settings menu and its different items.

2.4.2. Heart rate zone settings

In the Heart Rate Zone menu, you can define the 3 heart rate zones and set the tones on or off.
The 3 heart rate zones are useful in training as they record how much of your training is spent
within specific heart rate zones, or if you want to give yourself a long enough warm-up, or keep
your heart rate at an optimum level for fat burning.

After training, you can see how much of the session was spent in each zone. Each zone is a range
of heart rates expressed as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (which is calculated based
on the age you enter in the Personal settings menu). Accept the settings with a short press of the
MODE button, which also moves you on to the next menu item.

17

The default heart rates for zones 1-3 are 60-70%, 70-80%, and 80-90% of your maximum heart
rate, but if you are following a specially designed training program, enter the zone values that have
been tailored towards your individual goals. The benefits of training in each default zone are shown
in the following table.

of Sports Medicine for exercise prescription.

The device alerts you with a beep when you move from one zone to another so you can modify
your training accordingly.

The average heart rate is also a useful measure during training where the heart rate levels vary
a lot, such as biking in hilly terrain. In these cases, the target zone limits are less practical than
the average heart rate.

3. BEFORE TRAINING

3.1. Putting on the heart rate transmitter belt

The heart rate transmitter belt is an integral part of Suunto t1's functionality, so it's important that
you know how to wear it correctly.

We recommend that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.

•

The electrodes must be wet during the exercise. Raise the transmitter a little off your chest
and moisten the electrode area on the side in contact with your skin.

•

Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the logo is in a central
upright position.

•

Enter Training mode. (Your heart rate will not be visible until you enter Training mode.)

Whenever you enter Training mode or start the stopwatch, your Suunto t1 automatically searches
for signals from a heart rate belt. Once the device has found the signals, your heart rate will be
displayed in the center of the screen.

19

3.2. Heart rate signal troubleshooting

Although the heart rate transmitter belt can be used with gym equipment like treadmills and training
bikes, using the belt near overhead power lines or some magnetic or electronic devices may cause
interference with the belt's signal.

Although rare, it is possible that someone with the same heart rate transmitter belt code happens
to be training close to you causing interference with your heart rate readings. In the event of such
interference, check the belt codes by long pressing the BACK button in Training mode. You will
see the belt code in the middle of the display for few seconds. If you have matching codes, move
further off from your training partner. If the interference continues, you should remove the battery
from one of the belts and reinstall it. The belt will then automatically search a new code from 1 to

29.

If you lose the signal, try the following steps to fix the problem.

•

Exit and then re-enter Training mode.

•

Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate transmitter belt correctly. (See Section 3.1.
Putting on the heart rate transmitter belt)

•

Ensure that the electrode area on the back of the belt is slightly wet.

•

Move away from any potential source of interference.

•

If you have been using the belt for some time, the battery may need changing. For instructions
on how to change the transmitter belt's battery, see Section 7.3.2. Replacing the battery of the
heart rate belt.

20

3.3. Heart rate limit settings

In the Heart Rate Limit menu, you can set the heart rate limits on or off, define the upper and lower
limits, and set the heart rate alarm on or off. You can set the heart rate limits to help you stay
within a defined heart rate range, which you can set to match the goal of your training.

The heart rate limits are displayed with dots on the left outer rim of the display.

While training, your real-time heart rate is displayed in both the center of the screen and on the
left outer rim. If the average heart rate shortcut is selected, your real-time average heart rate of
the entire log at that point is displayed in the bottom row as either beats per minute or a percentage
of your maximum heart rate. In the Settings menu, you can set alarms to notify you when you go
above your set upper heart rate or below the set lower heart rate.

By checking your average heart rate you can adjust your training intensity to make sure the session
is as effective as possible.

4. TRAINING

Once you have your Suunto t1 set up as you like it, it's time to get out and start training. For detailed
information on training and tips on how to maximize its effectiveness, download Suunto Training
Guidebook from www.suunto.com/training.

4.1. Connecting your Suunto t1 to the heart rate transmitter belt

Whenever you enter Training mode, your Suunto t1 automatically searches for signals from a
heart rate belt. Once Suunto t1 has found the signals from your heart rate transmitter belt, your
heart rate will be displayed in the center of the screen.

21

After switching to Training mode,
Suunto t1 displays "HR" while it is
seeking the HR belt signal.

Instead of your heart rate, "HR"
is shown in the center of the display if
no heart rate belt is found.

4.2. Stopwatch

Pressing the START
button starts the
stopwatch and

The stopwatch is activated by short pressing the START button in Training mode. It can be seen
in the top row in Training mode. The information from the training that you time with the stopwatch,
such as heart rate and calorie consumption, is stored and can later be seen in Totals and Summary.

Therefore, you should activate the stopwatch, and ensure you have a heart rate reading,
whenever you start a training session.

22

While the stopwatch is running, you can take up to 99 lap times, the first 30 of which are stored

Pressing the + button, when
the stopwatch is running, stores
the split time and displays it in
the top row of the Suunto t1. It
also displays the average heart
rate and shows the lap time.

6. WARRANTY

For warranty information and additional care and maintenance instructions please refer to the
separate "Warranty, Care and Maintenance - Wristop Computers" leaflet.

7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Suunto t1 is a precision instrument. By following a few common sense points, you can max­imize the life of your device. If your Suunto t1 does require servicing, you should take it to your
nearest Suunto representative. This section also describes the steps to follow when replacing the
battery in both your Suunto t1 and the transmitter belt.

7.1. General instructions

•

Only perform the procedures described in this user's guide.

•

Never attempt to disassemble or service your Suunto t1.

•

Always protect your Suunto t1 from shocks, hard and sharp objects, extreme heat and prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight.

27

•

If not in use, store your Suunto t1 in a clean and dry environment at room temperature.

•

In order to prevent the face from becoming scratched, the device should not be stored in the
bottom of a bag or other place where it could come into contact with hard objects.

NOTE

•

You can wipe your Suunto t1 clean with a cloth lightly moistened with warm water. If there are
stubborn stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area.

•

Do not expose your Suunto t1 to strong chemicals, such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone,
alcohol, insect repellents, adhesives and paint, as they will damage the unit’s seals, case and
finish.

In case the face becomes scratched, you can use Polywatch cream to
eliminate most of the scratches if not all. The Polywatch cream will be
available at your authorized Suunto dealer, in most of the watches
stores and on Suunto web-shop (www.suunto.com/shop).

7.2. Water resistance

Your Suunto t1 is water resistant up to 30 m/100 ft and the transmitter belt to 20m/66ft according
to ISO 2281 standard (www.iso.ch). This means that you can use your Suunto t1 for swimming
and other water sports activities but you must not use it for scuba diving or freediving.

To maintain water resistance and to ensure that the warranty remains valid, we strongly recommend
that you have all service, except for battery change, performed by authorized Suunto service
personnel.

NOTE

28

Never push the buttons while swimming or in contact with water. Pressing
the buttons while the unit is submerged could cause the unit to malfunction.

7.3. Replacing the battery

Your Suunto t1 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is approximately
12 months of operation with an average of 4 hours of training a week. The higher your average
amount of training hours a week, the shorter the battery's life expectancy will be. Your Suunto t1
will display the symbol when the battery starts running low.

NOTE

To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not crush, puncture or dispose of
used batteries in fire or water. Only replace them with manufacturer-spe­cified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.

7.3.1. Replacing the battery of the Suunto t1

To replace the battery:

1. Use a coin to open the battery compartment on the back of your device. Ensure that the O
ring and all surfaces are clean and dry.

2. Remove the old battery.

3. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up.

4. Slide the battery gently against the contact plate on the side, ensuring that it does not break
or bend out of place.

5. When replacing the cover, rotate it carefully counter-clockwise with your thumb in order to
align the threads. The cover should rotate easily at first without having to use force. If you
have to use force right at the start, the threads are misaligned and may be damaged.

6. Perform the final tightening with a suitably sized coin.

NOTE

The markings on the cover may be left unaligned once the cover has been
tightened. If the old cover is undamaged, it does not need to be replaced.

29

NOTE

If the threads of the battery compartment cover are damaged, please send
your device to an authorized Suunto representative for service.

NOTE

NOTE

Replace the battery with extreme care to ensure that your Suunto t1 remains
water resistant. Careless battery replacement may void the warranty.

Heavy use of the backlight will significantly reduce battery life.

7.3.2. Replacing the battery of the heart rate belt

The average expected battery life of the transmitter belt is 300 hours of use in ideal operating
temperatures. If your Suunto t1 does not receive a signal when the transmitter belt is active, you
might need to replace the battery.

To replace the battery:

1.

Use a coin to open the battery compartment cover on the backside of the transmitter belt.
Ensure that the O ring and all surfaces are clean and dry. Do not stretch the O ring.

2.

Remove the old battery.

3.

Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up.

4.

With the O ring in the correct position, replace the battery compartment cover.

30

NOTE

We recommend that you replace the battery cover and the O ring simultan­eously with the battery to ensure that the transmitter remains clean and
water-resistant. Replacement covers are available with replacement bat­teries.

NOTE

Battery covers of the transmitter belt and Suunto t1 are not interchangeable.
